Advanced modelling and characterization for power semiconductor materials and technologies (AddMorePower)

Anotace

The development and integration of new materials for microelectronic semiconductor technologies was always crucially dependent on physical characterization techniques and predictive modelling. With the rapid and massive spread of power electronics, which enables both the digitalization and the electrification of our society on the one hand, and the generation and conversion of electrical energy needed for this transition on the other hand, completely new requirements arise for the conception and integration of semiconductor and interconnect materials. AddMorePower will provide the necessary characterization and modelling techniques that meet the particular needs of upcoming power semiconductor technology generations, which shall integrate and develop mono- and polycrystalline materials to an unprecedented extent. IPM activities will be devoted to the development of a physics-based modelling approach including anisotropic elasticity, plasticity, void formation and coalescence, and impurity and vacancy formation. The ambitious aim is to couple all effects and their interaction and implement them in a ready-to use simulation tool and provide the required material parameters to simulate the behaviour of the cooper layer during thermal loading.   The AddMorePower project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101091621.
